The Strait of Hormuz remained shut on Friday and Israel traded fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon, which the United States and Iran each described as violations of their ceasefire deal on the eve of their first peace talks of the war, Reuters reported.
The two-day-old ceasefire has halted the campaign of U.S. and Israeli air strikes on Iran. But it has so far done nothing to end the blockade of the strait, which has caused the biggest-ever disruption to global energy supplies, or to calm a parallel war waged by Israel against Iran's Hezbollah allies in Lebanon.
Iran was doing a "very poor job" of allowing oil to go through the strait, U.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post overnight. "That is not the agreement we have!"
In a separate post, he said oil would start flowing again, without saying how.
